Compact LED light bars and round light fixtures are easy to install and provide a soft ambiance, both above and below the water surface.
Below Water Lights. Underwater LED lights are suitable for all types and sizes of boats. In addition to the ambiance of underwater lights, the illumination helps detect underwater hazards, and fishermen have found that underwater lighting attracts fish during nighttime fishing excursions. The sailing vessel One Ocean has added Limitec SeaBlazeX2 underwater lighting to attract fish as part of their educational program for students Around the Americas. Underwater light bars come in full color or single color, and are also available as round light fixtures.
Above Water Lights. There are light bars designed for low-clearance applications, or to hang upside down for overhead locations. You can use the “reverse mounting” option provided with most branded lightbar products. Adjustable end mount brackets are useful when installing the light bars on uneven surfaces.
You may wish to find a lightbar fixture that can shift from a long-distance spotlight to a wide, diffused floodlight controlled by a multifunction display, or via a controller. Lightbar options usually include full-color, white spreader lights, and courtesy lights.
Whether you’re using lights above water to illuminate decks, cabins, and hatches, or using below-water color lighting to improve visibility and ambiance, you can find various options from Limitec or Shadow Caster.
